Friday Report

Like everyone else, Kliff Kingsbury did not expect safety Budda Baker (ankle) to practice on Friday after declaring the all-pro out this week, and then Baker practiced. It's why the Cardinals' head coach called Baker as a 'special human.' "

Now Baker will be a game-day decision for Sunday.

"Starting in the week, I heard a zero percent chance, but he's been fighting us to get back out there," Kingsbury said. "We'll see how he progresses in the next couple of days."

Kingsbury said quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) and cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. (back) also will be game-time decisions.

Wide receiver Greg Dortch was added to the injury report as questionable with a groin issue.

For the Rams, head coach Sean McVay told reporters quarterback Matthew Stafford (concussion) is questionable for Sunday.

Thursday Report

Quarterback Kyler Murray practiced some on Thursday after landing on the injury report on Wednesday with a tweaked hamstring. Tight end Zach Ertz said Murray is doing everything he can to play on Sunday.

"We would love to have him out there on Sunday," Ertz said. "He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He's trying to get as healthy as he can; see him in the training room all the time. Guys have confidence in Colt McCoy if he's got to go out there. He works his butt off and prepares like a starter, so either way, we feel we'll be in good hands. But it was good to see Kyler out there today."

Cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. (back) has not practiced this week, but defensive coordinator Vance Joseph didn't sound too concerned.

"We'll see," Joseph said. "He's getting better and hopefully, he feels better tomorrow and can play this weekend. We have guys we trust and have practiced for us all year, so if he can't go, we'll find someone else to go and play."

For the Rams, quarterback Matthew Stafford did not practice for the second consecutive day.

Wednesday Report

Kliff Kingsbury said safety Budda Baker (ankle) will be out Sunday against the Rams but hopes the safety can return by next week.

"He will be day-to-day after this week," Kingsbury said.

Two other significant names showed up on the injury report as DNP: cornerback Byron Murphy (back) and quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring)

With guard Will Hernandez out with a pectoral injury, the right guard spot needs a replacement. That is to be determined with multiple candidates to consider.

"We're going to see and work through that," Kingsbury said. "I thought Lecitus Smith stepped in and handled himself well for his first real NFL playing time, but there are a couple of other guys we'll try to work there. We'll see if we get Max Garcia and some other guys back and go from there."

For the Rams, coach Sean McVay told reporters quarterback Matthew Stafford entered the concussion protocol on Tuesday. John Wolford is the Rams' backup QB.
